CARTES is the global event for payment, identification, and mobility that encompasses the leading international and regional exhibitions and conferences devoted to smart technologie is being held in Paris, France, many Taiwanese firms, including XAC Technology, Weltrend Semiconductor, and Mxtran participated in it as well as Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) held a “Taiwan Smart Network Businesses Forum” there.

The Executive Vice President of XAC Technology Chuck Chagas said that the mobile payment won't replace case or credit card at the time being, however, new payment like ApplePay is a better and more convenient payment method.

Huang Shao-wen, General Manager of Mxtran, suggested that mobile payment made handsets as wallet or purse, “nowadays people almost can't live without handsets, once we lost wallet or purse perhaps didn't aware of it, but as long as handset has gone, one would probably notice within 10 minutes or half an hour.” He concluded that it's best to combine mobile payment with SIM card.
